How To Do A B2B Connect Interview

B2B Connect is a community for entrepreneurs, small business owners and startups in Alberta. Our mission is to help entrepreneurs, businesses and startups bring their ideas to life, and a big part of that is by having entrepreneurs share their stories with us via our interviews. We believe that short of doing it yourself, the best way to learn is from other entrepreneurs. Every path is different, but oftentimes our experiences, challenges and opportunities cross paths.
